[U-Boot] (imp) uboot image size
Hi All,
I changed the TEXT_BASE address to something different. I see that the image size of the uboot is changed so much.
Image size became to 28MB. I dotn know how to make it to 384k.
Earliar text base was at address fffa0000 now i changed to fe400000
let me know what else i should change so that it will hve image size as 384k

Hi Sagar,
What board are you building for? Maybe you changed TEXT_BASE in the board's config.mk but not in the linker file.
Amicalement,

It seems you did not really understand what your change is doing, so maybe you explain why you made this change in the first place?
What did you try to acchive?

Undo your changes to TEXT_BASE.
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
I am trying to relocate the uboot code to different address in the norflash.

You definitely do NOT want to do that - mind that "relocate" is a well-defined term that does not mean what you seem to think it means (or you don't care).

You did not answer my question.
Why are you trying to move the TEXT_BASE?
Eventually your processor (which you do not care to mention) has it's reset entry point at the end of the physical addess space, so this will always be included in theimage - the further you move TEXT_BASE down, the bigger your image will be.

Uhm... At least for edminiv2 (and I assume, for other orion5x-based boards as well) changing TEXT_BASE in the board's config.mk does not change the size of the u-boot image; it just changes the RAM address at which it shall relocate and run.

I think I am aware of this :-)
Actually this is the very reason why I am pretty sure that the OP is on a PPC box with the reset vector at 0xFFFFFFFC being part of the image.
